Hi Azerion, Thanks for the heads-up on nVidia and legacy drivers. Just so you know, this kind of topic really belongs on SLE (suse-linux-e.) I'm hoping you'll post the information there because I'm certain you'll find many interested parties. Since I'm responding, I'll include this FYI: There are three or four PC fan manufacturers being represented by sellers on eBay. If you pull the 'tired' fan (if necessary,) write the make and model number down then search for those numbers on eBay, chances are very good you'll find an inexpensive but exact (OEM) replacement. It's a lot cheaper than retrofitting or replacing cards/cpus/mainboards, etc. To illustrate this point: the replacement for my recently failed cpu fan was all of $6.00-U.S., including shipping (domestic mail.) The closest retail solution around here (a mismatch/overkill, anyway) was about $20.00-U.S. plus tax and shipping/pickup. The original fan was more than adequate and lasted almost five years. It made no sense, given the age of the system, to dramatically 'upgrade' the cooling system. It silently 'purrs along' and is happy with the inexpensive OEM replacement. regards, Carl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
